5.30-6.30pm 
Laura Snowden

“A poignant, mesmerising show – held the Wigmore Hall rapt”
— The Guardian

Described by Acoustic Guitar Magazine as possessing ‘‘multi-dimensional gifts, imagination and fearless artistic sensibility”, Laura’s eclectic musical output has ranged from playing guitar solos on Lorne Balfe's soundtrack for Marvel film Black Widow to performing Lisa Streich’s guitar concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Laura studied with Julian Bream, during which time she gave two concerts at Wigmore Hall featuring premieres of his newest commissions. This led to international recognition and festival debuts across Europe and the US, as well as a concerto recording with Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.

She has since gone on to forge her own creative and authentic path as a guitarist, composer and vocalist. Her eclectic repertoire comprises classical, folk and contemporary music, with storytelling at its heart; her solo programmes feature her fresh interpretations of classical works alongside her own evocative compositions, unique vocalisations and Celtic folk arrangements.
